Delphi Honors President as Nation Mourns
Main Street Delphi joined a sorrowing nation last weekend in honoring the memory of our departed president. Schools paid tribute with ceremonies at the high school auditorium and gymnasium. Reverend Howard Jenkins and the high school band conducted services and a senior read a brief biography. Flags were lowered to half mast and Sunday sermons reflected on the President’s accomplishments. Local Rotarians heard predictions about postwar telegraphy, including relay improvements and new handwriting oriented technology. Mushroom season is early with reports of finds from Olive McGuire and the Browns.
